Description
12V 75Ah Lithium Battery — CLI75-12
The Canbat CLI75-12 is a 12V 75Ah lithium battery delivering 960Wh of usable LiFePO4 energy in a compact Group 24 footprint — the mid-range deep cycle platform for smaller RV systems, weekend marine setups, compact van builds, portable solar installations, and trolling motor applications where space, weight, and installation flexibility matter as much as energy capacity. At 21.2 lbs (9.62 kg) with 75A continuous discharge and 3,000–5,000 cycle life, it delivers serious lithium runtime in one of the most compact mid-capacity formats in the Canbat lineup.
The CLI75-12 is a direct drop-in replacement for Group 24 lead-acid batteries — same footprint, significantly less weight, and substantially more usable energy than the AGM or flooded batteries it replaces. For buyers who need more than a small SLA replacement but don’t require the full capacity of a Group 27 battery, it occupies a practical and well-defined position in the 12V deep cycle lineup.
It ships free across Canada and the USA, carries a 10-year warranty, and is built with UL 1642 certified cells. For Canada and USA orders, there are no import duties or cross-border complications.
Serious Runtime in a Compact Group 24 Footprint
Group 24 is a widely used battery format in smaller marine, RV, and portable power applications where Group 27 batteries are too large for available compartment space. The CLI75-12 fits any standard Group 24 tray, box, or hold-down directly — no modifications required, no new hardware needed.
A standard Group 24 AGM battery typically delivers 35–45Ah of usable energy before reaching its depth-of-discharge limit. The CLI75-12 delivers 75Ah at 100% usable depth of discharge — significantly more accessible energy from the same compact footprint, with stable voltage maintained throughout the entire discharge cycle rather than declining as the battery depletes.
At 21.2 lbs (9.62 kg), it weighs roughly half what a comparable Group 24 AGM battery weighs — a meaningful reduction in applications where weight directly affects vessel performance, vehicle payload, or installation convenience.
Applications
Trolling Motors & Fishing Boats
The CLI75-12 is an excellent trolling motor battery for smaller fishing boats and kayak fishing setups where weight and space are constrained. At 21.2 lbs it is significantly lighter than a comparable AGM trolling motor battery, and its stable flat discharge voltage means the motor maintains consistent thrust throughout the day — not declining performance as the battery depletes under lead-acid chemistry.
Smaller RV & Camper Systems
For smaller travel trailers, teardrop campers, and truck camper setups where battery compartment dimensions limit options, the CLI75-12 provides meaningful overnight energy reserve — powering LED lighting, a 12V fan, a small fridge, and charging devices — in a Group 24 footprint that fits where larger batteries cannot.
Compact Van & Overland Builds
For smaller van conversions, car camping setups, and overland builds with limited auxiliary battery space, the CLI75-12 delivers 960Wh of usable energy in a compact, lightweight unit. Ideal as a starting point for a build that may expand with a parallel unit later as energy requirements grow.
Portable Solar & Off-Grid Power
For portable solar systems, off-grid weekend cabins, and remote power setups where the battery needs to be moved or repositioned, the CLI75-12’s 21.2 lb weight makes it genuinely portable — manageable by a single person without equipment. Pairs efficiently with smaller solar arrays for seasonal off-grid use.
Marine House Banks & Electronics
For smaller vessels running navigation electronics, fishfinders, VHF radio, and cabin lighting from a dedicated house bank, the CLI75-12 provides sufficient overnight reserve in a compact sealed unit — maintenance-free, no off-gassing, and no terminal corrosion in marine environments.
12V 75Ah Lithium Battery for Marine, RV & Portable Power
The CLI75-12 is Canbat’s compact mid-range deep cycle lithium battery — designed for buyers sourcing a 12V 75Ah lithium battery for trolling motors, smaller RV systems, compact van builds, and portable off-grid applications where Group 24 compatibility, low weight, and reliable deep cycle performance are the primary requirements.
For Canadians sourcing a 12V 75Ah lithium battery, the CLI75-12 ships free with no import duties, is backed by a Canadian technical team, and carries a 10-year warranty. Compatible with all major chargers and solar charge controllers that support a LiFePO4 charging profile. For systems requiring greater capacity, up to four CLI75-12 units can be connected in parallel to reach 300Ah at 12V.
Runtime & Performance
The CLI75-12 delivers 960Wh of usable energy at 12V nominal — all accessible at 100% depth of discharge on every cycle with stable voltage throughout:
| Application / Load | Average Draw | Estimated Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| LED lighting & low-draw electronics | 5–10A | 7–15 hours |
| Trolling motor — low speed | ~20–30A | ~2.5–3.5 hours |
| Marine electronics (nav, fishfinder, VHF) | ~8–12A | ~6–10 hours |
| 12V portable fridge | ~4–8A average | ~9–18 hours |
| Inverter — 200W load | ~17A | ~4.4 hours |
| RV lighting + small loads | ~8–12A | ~6–10 hours |
Runtime figures are based on 100% usable depth of discharge. The CLI75-12 maintains stable voltage throughout the discharge cycle — critical for trolling motors, which lose thrust as battery voltage drops under lead-acid chemistry.
Series & Parallel Expandability
The CLI75-12 supports both series and parallel connections — up to 4 units in either configuration — allowing the system to grow with changing energy requirements without replacing existing hardware.
| Configuration | Units | System Voltage | Total Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single unit | 1 | 12V | 75Ah / 960Wh |
| Parallel x2 | 2 | 12V | 150Ah / 1,920Wh |
| Parallel x3 | 3 | 12V | 225Ah / 2,880Wh |
| Parallel x4 (max) | 4 | 12V | 300Ah / 3,840Wh |
| Series x2 | 2 | 24V | 75Ah / 1,920Wh |
| Series x3 | 3 | 36V | 75Ah / 2,880Wh |
| Series x4 (max) | 4 | 48V | 75Ah / 3,840Wh |
Start with a single unit and expand as your system grows — the CLI75-12’s modular architecture supports the full range of 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V system configurations without redesigning the installation.

I was so happy with my purchase that I had to leave these guys a review. My husband Mathew and I, have been looking to replace our boat battery for a while now. We installed a 75 amp-hours 12V Canbat Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery on our boat. It has been a total butterfly. We were planning on getting lithium batteries 2 years ago but they were too expensive at the time. Now they are very affordable and have a battery management system inside to protect the battery and prevent overcharging or over-discharge. They were drop-in replacements and we didn’t need any help to replace our existing 2 6V batteries. I am very glad that LiFePO4 batteries are safer than wet-cell lead-acid batteries that have a chance of spilling acid. They are half the weight of my old AGM batteries. Since these new lithium batteries rest at 13.2 volts, our Engel refrigerator now takes 10% fewer amps when it is running and our watermarker is putting out more water. The batteries are also charging much faster, with a 30 amp charger, it only takes 2.5 hours. In conclusion, We are very glad we made the switch to Canbat lithium iron phosphate batteries and we would recommend it to anyone looking for something more reliable than typical lead-acid batteries.

The best lithium battery for sailboat. This 75Ah lithium battery is very powerful and a great upgrade from lead-acid. I am 78 years old and I’ve replaced enough batteries in my life to know that this lithium battery from Canbat is the best one I’ve seen so far. Highly recommended and I love their customer service and their willingness to help with all the technical questions I had. We live in a remote area in Alberta and they were still able to ship it me, free shipping too!

I was looking for something quick. They shipped it within 4 days, the package was well wrapped and secure. Used it right away and I’m pleased.
Mason B. –
First time buying a battery and I wasn’t sure what to buy. With just a quick call, I was recommended this battery for the equipment I need to run when off-roading. Of course, I tested before going on my trip. Whoa, I will recommend Canbat. Definitely will refer my friends.

Awesome battery! I use a trolling motor battery to power my inflatable pontoon boat. I talked to a tech about what kind run times I could expect after giving her my motor specs. On the first full charge I charted 9.2 km and still had 58% left. And it only weighs 20 lbs, so much easier to lug around than the old lead acid battery. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to replace their battery.
